MEN 2+1 SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONERM. Francis / Utah
Between an outdoors job and an active lifestyle, most days I shower at least twice. I was wary of combination shampoo/conditioner products after trying drugstore brands, which left my hair flat and dull-looking. The 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner has restored the shine I remember from my younger days!
INTENSE REPAIR TREATMENTK. Whitaker / California
I subjected my hair to more than 30 years of color, highlights and perms; strands would literally break when I brushed. I didn't think any product could come close to combating years of damage and sun, but Intense Repair Treatment lived up to its name and its promises. My hair has never felt better.
RESHAPE ROOT LIFTERJ. Luzzi / Oregon
In my 20s, my trademark was my thick, full-of-body long hair. I never thought I'd see that kind of volume again, but Reshape Root Lifter has brought it back. I'm 53, and my hair has never looked fuller … or better!
REVIVE SHAMPOOW. Scola / Pennsylvania
My scalp and hair have gotten noticeably healthier since I switched to Revive Shampoo. I use very little each time, and just add enough water to work it into a lather. Lots of shampoos say they help with volume, but I think this one actually does—and it doesn't fade my color. My hair looks super healthy and I get compliments about the luster every day!
REVITALIZE CONDITIONERA. Rollins / Florida
I could tell just from MONAT Revitalize's incredibly creamy texture that my hair was in for a real treat. Just a dab leaves my hair frizz-free and easy to manage.
REPLENISH MASQUEM. Rios / California
I used to think hair masque treatments would make my fine hair even limper. Was I ever surprised to see how soft, healthy and full my hair was after using Replenish Masque!
RENEW SHAMPOOH. Ascolani / California
I tried MONAT Renew Shampoo on a friend's recommendation after noticing how soft and smooth her hair was. After just one use, I saw a difference in both texture and appearance. I was hooked!
REJUVENIQE™ OIL INTENSIVEE. Padilla / California
I call REJUVENIQE™ Oil Intensive my miracle product because it's so nourishing, and can be used in many ways. On my scalp before shampooing; on my ends right before styling—even on my dry elbows! When I have time, after shampooing I smooth it through my hair then wrap a hot towel around it for a spa-like experience. Best of all, a little goes a long way and never feels greasy!

A federal anti-monopoly and anti-trust statute, passed in 1890 as 15 U.S.C. §§ 1-7 and amended by the Clayton Act in 1914 (15 U.S.C. § 12-27), which prohibits activities that restrict interstate commerce and competition in the marketplace.
Broad and sweeping in scope, § 1 of the Act states that "[e]very contract, combination in the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations, is declared to be illegal." § 2 of the Act further prohibits monopolization or attempts at monopolizing any aspect of interstate trade or commerce and makes the act a felony. Federal district courts have the jurisdiction to enjoin violations of the Sherman Act, and these proceedings are instituted by United States Attorneys in their respective districts. The injured party (whether it is the federal government, an individual state, or a private party) is entitled to three times the amount of injury that it has suffered; this award is known as treble damages. The Act does not apply to trade or commerce with foreign nations unless there was conduct that has a "direct, substantial, and reasonably foreseeable effect" and that effect gives rise to a claim under the Act. For a full text of the Sherman Antitrust Act, see:
In insurance law, the McCarran-Ferguson Act of 1945, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1011-15 vested regulatory authority of the insurance industry on the states; thus, the federal reach of the Sherman Act, the Clayton Act, and the Federal Trade Commission Act is applicable to the "business of insurance" only to the extent where: (1) such business is not regulated by state law [§ 1012], or (2) there are insurer or acts of, "boycott, coercion, or intimidation" [§ 1013]. For the full text of the McCarran-Ferguson Act, see:

ok, this is real anoying... when someone "syncronizes" their turns... ok, when you end the round you cant play till someone else plays, ya, thats how it is... uhh.. ok, to fix this problem... when the first person starts their turn, reset the clock to 24 hours, or maby reset to 12 hours if the time is less than 12 hours... or, another option, after 12 hours let the other ppl be able to play...
Heimdall wrote:I'm currently playing in a doubles game and i've notice a serious flaw. Given that my team is last to play before the round ends, we have to wait until the other team has started to play for us to begin. Well, since it's freestyle, we all get 24 hours to play right? Wrong, the other team just waits until the 24 hours is almost expired before they play, meaning we barely have anytime to play before the 24hrs is up. Plus it means, we need to make sure we are at our PC at that time.
This totally unjuste, please fix.

Give Dan Duquette some money to spend and he'll come up with Johnny Damon and Manny Ramirez. His choices among big-name players usually work out. That was the case in Boston, but he has not been able to use those skills in Baltimore.
Think about it. The Orioles have an excellent manager in Buck Showalter. An excellent general manager in Duquette. They have really good core players in Adam Jones, Manny Machado, Matt Wieters, Nick Markakis, J.J. Hardy, and Chris Davis. They have a couple of young pitchers — Kevin Gausman and Dylan Bundy (who underwent Tommy John surgery and won't be available until the summer) — who could become the 1-2 punch the Orioles need in their rotation.
They had a two-time 50-save closer in Jim Johnson, but he's one piece of the core that's already been chipped off because of cost constraints, traded to Oakland.
What's missing? A committed owner.
How in good conscience can you allow a team to have 14 consecutive losing seasons, and then when you finally break through in 2012 with 93 wins because of that strong young core, you handcuff baseball operations from getting that team to the next level?
Baseball has its windows, its opportunities, and the Orioles are in one right now. They dropped back last season because significant upgrades (Bud Norris and Scott Feldman aren't No. 1 or 2 starters) couldn't be made. Wieters and Davis could be gone in free agency by 2015. A big chunk of the core could be gone.
No teams want to give up draft picks to sign top free agents, but if you're one of those teams that needs to live in the here and now, you may have to. And for Baltimore, now is that time.
The Orioles reside in the American League East. The World Series champion Red Sox are in the same division. The Rays are usually very good, but they get only so far before they don't have the resources to go farther. The Yankees have been very active this offseason after winning 85 games and finishing out of the playoffs.
So, if you're the Orioles, what on Earth are you doing? Apparently, nothing.
Duquette traded Johnson to Oakland, a team that is going for it, realizing their window is now. Duquette settled for Jemile Weeks and a minor leaguer in return, but the big issue was not having to pay Johnson up to $10 million in arbitration.
Then, Duquette made the right call on a cheaper but still effective closer in Grant Balfour, who had his best season in 2013 with 38 saves for the Athletics. However, once the Orioles looked at the medical reports on Balfour, they backed out because of concerns over his pitching shoulder. Balfour was lights-out last season, and going on 36 years old, of course there are going to be things in the MRIs that don't look right. But do you just walk away from a deal because of it?
What's suspicious is that owner Peter Angelos has a history of backing out of deals when the medicals don't look so good, including deals for Mike Lowell, Aaron Sele, and Xavier Hernandez.
If I'm an Orioles fan, I'm not too happy. You can't have more than a decade of losing, expect your fan base to endure that, and just when you are ready to compete you pull back the reins. Don't you, in good conscience, extend yourself with payroll for a couple of years just to see if you can win the AL East, the pennant, and make it to the World Series? Your attendance is up, your TV deal is greater, so why the Scrooge-like behavior by an owner who should be excited to go for it?
There are free agent pitchers out there such as Matt Garza and Ervin Santana, and deals to be made for young veterans such as Jeff Samardzija and David Price that would greatly improve the Orioles' roster.
They are one starter, one closer, and one hitter away from competing seriously for the AL East title. So, why are they allowing this opportunity to slip away?
If I'm Showalter and Duquette, this isn't what I signed up for. Is the owner banking on the fact that it's difficult to repeat so the Red Sox won't be as good? Or that Tampa Bay will fall short again? Or that the Yankees don't have enough pitching and the Orioles could sneak in with minimum payroll upgrades?
The Orioles have been the most frustrating team to follow this offseason. They could use Kendrys Morales in the middle of their order as a designated hitter.
They could use one of the aforementioned pitchers at the head of their rotation and they could use Balfour to be their closer after the Johnson trade.
Duquette is following orders. He may have to go with what he's got, which means Tommy Hunter, a very good setup guy, could wind up being the closer. Angelos will likely make Duquette go after a cheap hitter and settle for a middle-of-the-rotation starter.
Maybe the moon and stars will align and the Orioles will rise up and win. But if you own this franchise, don't you have to prove to your fans that you want to win?
There's still time, but the available inventory is starting to run low.
The Orioles, with a few fixes, could be exciting and fun to watch. But right now they'll have no help from the person who writes the checks.
Hall of Fame voting full of difficult choices
Hall of Fame voting has presented new challenges this year, and likely will for the next three years as an abundance of worthy candidates, coupled with solid old candidates and PED users who some vote for and others don't, have created a logjam and tough choices.
My ballot could have extended to 14 choices easily, but the 10 I voted for were: Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, Mike Piazza, Jack Morris, Alan Trammell, Frank Thomas, Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, Jeff Kent, and Craig Biggio. In the future, I would like to vote for Curt Schilling, Mike Mussina, Tim Raines, and Jeff Bagwell. I will vote for Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz, and Randy Johnson next season. And Ken Griffey Jr. the year after that.
Every year there's such criticism of the voting. It's an election. Once you've met the qualifications of covering baseball for a recognized publication or website for 10 straight seasons, you earn the right to vote for whomever you want. If you want to vote for no one, that's your right. If you want to vote for 10 every year, that's also your right. If you feel a PED user is a Hall of Famer, and you feel he's one of the greatest to ever play the game — as I do with Bonds and Clemens — then you vote for him.
There are 10 spots on the ballot. Since I qualified for voting in 1993, the 10-name ballot had never been an issue until now.
There's a movement to see if the Hall of Fame would consider unlimited voting or the addition of a few more spots. But in doing that, are we simply reacting to a 2-3-year logjam? That's what a committee of the Baseball Writers Association of America will soon begin discussing.
One thing I feel should happen is to change the voting pool a bit and allow broadcasters in. They, like many BBWAA members, watch, attend, and are around players on a daily basis. They understand the game. They should be held to the same criteria — broadcast for 10 straight years.
Apropos of nothing
1. Should the Red Sox get into the Masahiro Tanaka hunt? The 25-year-old Rakuten Golden Eagles righthander, who was 24-0 in the regular season in 2013, was posted and teams have begun to bid the new maximum $20 million fee. The Red Sox are the least mentioned big-market team, but don't be surprised if they quietly slip into this. One American League scout suggested it's the perfect time for the Red Sox to strike. "They have veteran pitchers in the final year or two years remaining on their deals," he said. "They'll be clearing out a lot of payroll soon. I know they feel they have good young pitching on the horizon, but Tanaka should be a very good No. 2 or No. 3 starter on any staff. I would think with their emphasis on pitching, they would get into it." The Yankees, Cubs, Rangers, and Dodgers should be the most aggressive. The Angels, Phillies, Royals, and Blue Jays will get into it. Tanaka is going to get the highest contract ever given to a Japanese pitcher. Do the Red Sox take a pass because of Daisuke Matsuzaka? "I don't think that can enter their thinking. I'm sure they would have gone after Yu Darvish in retrospect," said one National League GM.
2. Right now, the one team I know I'm picking to go far is Oakland. Billy Beane and David Forst have been aggressive in filling in some big pieces this offseason, including Jim Johnson. They recognize that their time is now.
3. Predicting big comeback seasons for Josh Hamilton and Albert Pujols. Hamilton's overall game picked up toward the end of last season. He will also be playing left field full time, lessening the wear and tear. Pujols just needs to be healthy, and it appears he's on his way.
4. The best center fielder you've even seen? The death of Paul Blair this past week reminded me that he was truly one of the greatest. He played so shallow and yet was able to gracefully go back on balls. A pleasure to watch.
5. It's tough to repeat, but not sure the Yankees, Rays, Orioles, and Blue Jays have done enough to challenge the Red Sox.
6. Upgrades by the Angels and Mariners are going to make the AL West interesting in 2014.
Updates on nine
1. Ubaldo Jimenez, RHP, free agent — A few GMs I spoke with recently feel the Yankees may wind up with Jimenez, even if they land Masahiro Tanaka. "He had an excellent second half, has great stuff, and he has the type of personality that would fit New York," one GM said. "He doesn't let things get to him. He's good at shrugging off things and turning the page."
2. Nelson Cruz, RF, free agent — Cruz remains the best available free agent among position players, but his demand of four years at $75 million has turned off teams. While other PED guys such as Jhonny Peralta are still getting top dollar, Cruz, who more relies on his power, is of greater concern for teams who feel that being off the stuff could lessen his power numbers. "The feeling is Peralta is more of a pure hitter than a power hitter, and less risky," said a National League GM. "Cruz hits for more power. Someone will sign him and take the chance, but Melky Cabrera is always in the back of your mind." The Blue Jays last year signed Cabrera to a two-year deal after his PED suspension, and his game — which was hitting and not power — went south as injuries began to crop up.
3. John Lackey, RHP, Red Sox — Lackey's name has come up consistently this winter, but the Red Sox aren't motivated to deal him. There may come a point when that changes, though his contract is team-friendly with a $15.25 million outlay and only $500,000 in a team option for 2015. Yet if the Red Sox ever got involved in Tanaka, a veteran pitcher or two would likely go. Lackey could bring salary relief this season and also allow the Sox to fill another need and remain under the luxury tax.
4. A.J. Pierzynski, C, Red Sox — The Red Sox did their homework on Pierzynski since there was a reputation that preceded him. White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf and his special adviser, Dennis Gilbert, swear by him. Red Sox pitching coach Juan Nieves is also a big fan. Said one former teammate, "He'll let you know exactly how he feels. Sometimes that rubs you the wrong way. A.J. will not hold anything back. Maybe it comes off a little strong, but we're all big boys. If you can't take it you shouldn't be in the big leagues. He's passionate."
5. Ichiro Suzuki, OF, Yankees — It'll be interesting to see whether in the next few weeks the Yankees can move him. With Brett Gardner, Jacoby Ellsbury, Alfonso Soriano, and Vernon Wells also in a crowded outfield, Ichiro, who can still play defense but can't hit at the level he used to, could be a functional player for someone. The Giants always remain a possibility.
6. Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier, Carl Crawford — The Dodgers may still deal one of them before the start of the season. As teams see where Kemp's rehab is after shoulder and ankle surgeries, that could heat up in spring training. Ethier could also be in demand, but the Dodgers want to see what they have in Kemp before trading away their excess. Still, the Dodgers will be an intriguing trade partner for some team before all is said and done.
7. Austin Romine, C, Yankees — With Brian McCann aboard and Francisco Cervelli the backup, Romine is very much available. Romine finds himself in the same spot as the Red Sox' Ryan Lavarnway, with really no business going back to Triple A. With Lavarnway, there's at least light at the end of the tunnel with Pierzynski and David Ross in the last year of their contracts. Lavarnway is also being pushed by Christian Vazquez and Romine by Gary Sanchez.
8. Johan Santana, LHP, free agent — Santana is getting closer to making a decision on a minor league deal with a team. There's been some speculation about the Twins since Santana still resides in Fort Myers, Fla., where the Twins have spring training. The Red Sox, who also train in Fort Myers, passed. But a small-market team such as the Astros could also have some interest. Santana is just trying to get back pitching and prove himself again.
9. Roy Oswalt, RHP, free agent — Oswalt would like to pitch again, but some teams remain skeptical about his commitment. "He's an intriguing name and it wouldn't shock me if the old Roy comes out and pitches well again, but lately everything's been on Roy's terms and I think teams are turned off by that," said a National League GM. "But the pitching is at a premium, so guys like Oswalt, Johan Santana, Mark Mulder, Carl Pavano, they'll all get looks from teams hoping they can insert a veteran like that to the back end of the rotation when injuries occur."
Extra innings
From the Bill Chuck files — "From Aug. 1 on last season, the ERA leaders were: Zack Grienke (1.49), Andrew Cashner (1.70), Clayton Kershaw (1.73), and Ubaldo Jimenez (1.92)." . . . Also, "From Aug. 1 to the end of the regular season, for batters with at least 150 plate appearances, Daniel Nava led the majors with a .356 batting average." . . . Tomorrow, wish A.J. Pierzynski a happy 37th birthday.Nick Cafardo can be reached at email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @nickcafardo.

Artist Statement
"Wilderness to me is a spiritual necessity. When my son was killed by a drunk driver, it was to the wilderness that I fled in hope of regaining my serenity and equilibrium. The mysterious spiritual experience of being close to nature helped to restore my soul. It was during that time, I discovered the intimate beauty of Florida. My experience reinforced my sense of dedication to use my art form of photography as an inspiration for others to work together to save places of spiritual sanctuary for future generations."

Unlike some other states people may be moving from, Colorado is - both by citizen preference and state law - a "local control" state. This means that many pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade public education decisions - on issues such as curriculum, personnel, school calendars, graduation requirements, and classroom policy - are made by the 178 school districts and their local school boards.
However, the people of Colorado felt that some facets of education, such as educator licensing and district accreditation, required leadership at the state level. Following that lead, the Colorado General Assembly established the existence of a State Board of Education to provide guidance on education issues, and the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) to administer education details for the Board.
Colorado Department of Education's Tasks at the State Level
- supervises many aspects of school administration, including accreditation, teacher licensing, school transportation, school nutrition, special education, and early childhood education;
- administers and distributes funds for a number of federal and state educational programs, centering on issues such as student literacy, technology, school reform and the prevention of at-risk behavior, to name a few;
- provides consultation services on education issues to administrators and educators throughout the state;
- administers the state's library system, as well as all adult education efforts that don't fall under the supervision of Colorado's higher education system;
- oversees school finance and audits the distribution of education funds;
- develops new educational policies;
- acts as a link between school districts and state and federal legislators;
- accumulates, evaluates, and makes public Colorado education data and information.
For additional information about CDE's responsibilities, see the following pages:

Polaris Industries continues to be the 800 lbs gorilla of corporate M&A in the motorcycle industry, and the American firm reinforced that fact today after it announced the acquisition of KLIM Technical Riding Gear. Known for its superb snow and off-road gear, KLIM is a strong apparel brand that matches up well with the core Polaris's core business of ATVs and snowmobiles. While terms of the acquisition are not being discussed, KLIM is expected to clear $30 million in revenue in 2012.
In its statement, Polaris says that it will operate the KLIM brand in conjunction with the other existing Polaris apparel brands. Additionally, KLIM will continue operations at its Rigby location, and will retain the company's current staff members. Planning to invest further in KLIM's infrastructure, Polaris intends to establish the Rigby facility as its "new apparel Center of Excellence," thus centralizing the company's apparel manufacturing efforts.

I am seeking help with some grammatical clarification on some exercises from Hansen and Quinn's Intensive Elementary Greek. Hope you can help!
1. ἐὰν κακοὺς ἀνθώπους εἰς πόλεμον πέμψωμεν ἀγαθοὺς ἀνθρωποὺς θάψομεν
I translate this as "If we send evil men into war, we will bury good men" Yet the book says that adjectives which lack an article imply an "is" In this case there are no articles, but the use of "is" or "are" seems awkward. I attempted another translation, but still feel it is astray, "If we send men who are evil into war, it is good men who we will bury". I enjoy this sentence more, but I feel the addition of "who" might be taking too much of a liberty.
2. ὅπως ἀγαθὸν βιβλὶον γράψειεν, ὁ ποιητὴς ὁ δίκαιος τοῖς θεοῖς ζῷα καλὰ ἔθυεν.
"In order that he might write a good book the just poet was sacrificing fine animals to the gods". My question here comes from ζῷα καλὰ. Animals are fine. A translation like the previous one, "animals which are fine" seems much more fluent, but again I am not sure if this is reasonable given the forms I have to work with.
3. ἀγαθὴ δὴ τοῖς ἀνθρώποις ἡ νίκης ἡμέρα.
"For men a victory is of course a good day". Again I am not sure how to properly use ἀγαθὴ in a sentence of this quality. For clarification the book gave many drills with simple sentences like "κακος ὁ αδελφος" The brother is evil, "ἡ τοῦ ἀδελφου ψυχῂ ἄδικος " Unjust is the soul of the brother. In these sentences, the implementation of "is" and "are", seems logical, but I lose my vein of reasoning in this more complex sentences.
4. ἐὰν τὴν μάχεν μὴ παύσητε, καλοὺς ὁπλίτας δὶα τῆς χώρας παρὰ τὴν θαλάτταν πέμψομεν ἴνα λύσωσι τοὺς δικαίους φιλους τοὺς ἐν τῃ οἰκία.
"If you do not stop the battle, we will send on account of the country hoplites who are noble to the sea in order that they may release the just friends in the house."
In this sentence I have trouble accounting for the final "τοὺς". Does it link to "ὁπλίτας" ? And if so, how does it incorporate once again into the sentence? I also feel I awkwardly translated this sentence, though Hansen and Quinn do not necessarily care about how good the sentences sound, but more that I have an understanding of the grammar.
Thank you for your help - before I move onto the next unit, I want to ensure that I know, solidly, these facts!

You'll either love or hate the SuperBob's general aesthetic, but you have to admit up close, the details of the sport-naked are superb. Based around an 88° 997cc v-twin motor that was developed by French firm Technologies (the same company behind the stillborn Inmotec MotoGP project's motor), the Boxer Design SuperBob massages its peak power output to 158hp, thanks to some light turbo work (6-9 psi).

It's been too long since we simply sat up and pointed out a few of the many new releases worth a set of ears. Luckily, the staff on weekends at All Things Considered thought the same. They invited me to sit down with host Jacki Lyden and play a few cuts for them.
Here's music from an elder statesman of piano, a trumpeter who understands creole music personally, a drummer who writes tunes with a payoff, and a singer in her early 20s with maturity and kick.
Once again, this is WEEKENDS on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Jacki Lyden. And it's time now for music.
LYDEN: That's the pianist Harold Mabern from a live recording he made just last year. It's one of the records that NPR music jazz blogger Patrick Jarenwattananon brought to our attention. Patrick, it is great to have you here with us. Welcome.
PATRICK JARENWATTANANON, BYLINE: Well, thanks, Jacki.
LYDEN: So tell me about this music, Harold Mabern. I - I'm in the presence, obviously, of a very talented piano player.
JARENWATTANANON: Indeed you are. Harold Mabern is one of those guys who came to New York in, say, late '50s, early '60s - around then - one of the golden ages of recorded jazz in some form. He played with a lot of the greats. He played with a band called the Jazztet with Art Farmer and Benny Golson. He was in Miles Davis' band for a little bit. This is an older song, but it's a new live recording.
JARENWATTANANON: This is the song "I'm Walking" that you may know as made famous by Fats Domino. And it was recorded at a small club called, well, Smalls. It's your typical New York City basement room. You know, you walk downstairs, except this one happens to have a house record label. So imagine this, you know, legendary pianist who's been around for the better part of half a century and just two other guys and 100 people. That's the sort of character that you see in this recording).
LYDEN: Harold Mabern, great soulful character to this. I suppose what we should expect from someone who's been to the "golden era of jazz," quote, unquote.
JARENWATTANANON: Absolutely. I mean, so many of those guys, I mean, once they're gone, they're gone. So we really do need to appreciate them while we still can. But, you know, I don't really like to give off the impression that those are the only musicians who are still making jazz. In fact, there's constantly influxes of new talent. And so I made sure to also cue up some music for you, Jacki, by some artists who are younger and whose music reflects that.
LYDEN: Oh, that's fantastic. What else have you brought with you?
JARENWATTANANON: Let's play something from a trumpeter named Etienne Charles.
LYDEN: Wow, it's beautiful.
JARENWATTANANON: Yeah. It's got this great tone and, you know, just - he's a fantastic trumpet player. And this, of course, is meant to be beautiful. It's a ballad. And if you didn't know it, you - it could really be any old tune. But Etienne Charles is originally from the island of Trinidad. So when he chose a ballad for this record, he chose a classic calypso, actually. It's a song called "Memories." It was made famous by a great calypsonian named Mighty Sparrow.
MIGHTY SPARROW: Every year somebody dear give us cause to shed a tear and mourn for they are gone.
JARENWATTANANON: The singer is reflecting on all these deceased musical heroes.
SPARROW: (Singing) Now, all that's left is a faint memory.
LYDEN: So I get it. This is the original calypso version, and Etienne Charles is doing a sort of jazz version.
JARENWATTANANON: More or less. Etienne also uses some sort of, like, characteristically island beats. He plays with some reggae beats elsewhere in this album. But that's more or less for this particular tune.
JARENWATTANANON: I like that he's infusing his jazz training to sort of investigate these things, this sort of cultural history that means something to him. He's also just a good trumpeter and a great arranger. And that means something, too, right?
LYDEN: I wouldn't take it away from him. It's great. That's Etienne Charles from his new album, "Creole Soul." And we're here with Patrick Jarenwattananon, a jazz producer at NPR Music, and he's playing us some of the new records that caught his attention recently. What else have you brought along, Patrick?
JARENWATTANANON: Jacki, here's a tune you might recognize, actually. Any kids out there might too.
LAUREN DESBERG: (Singing) Now, I'm the queen of the swingers, the jungle VIP. I've reached the top and had to stop, that's what's bothering me.
LYDEN: I couldn't miss that one if I tried - from "The Jungle Book," and I'm pretty sure that was sung by the dancing orangutan.
JARENWATTANANON: Yes, it is. In the original, the orangutan is Louie Prima, the great New Orleans bandleader. Obviously here, it's a young woman, and her name is Lauren Desberg.
DESBERG: (Singing) You will see it's true, an ape like me, can learn to be human too. Don't try to kid me, mancub, don't get in this too. What I desire is man's red fire, so I can be like you.
JARENWATTANANON: I'm new to Lauren's music, too, and this is really just a single she put up on the Internet. She's only got one EP, as far as I know. But there's really something quite pleasing about this. It's peppy, and it's bright and, you know, it's one of those things you call a guilty pleasure, except nobody has guilty pleasures anymore.
LYDEN: Well, and if we do, they're immediately out on social media, as we might know.
PATRICK JARENWATTANON, BYLINE: Right.
LYDEN: You know, it's really a fun, swingy little tune. I still hear the notes of Louie Prima and, of course, "The Jungle Book." And also, you can almost hear an Apple commercial being made out of something like this, huh?
JARENWATTANANON: I guess you - some jazz singers might recoil just a little bit at that. But, you know, I think Lauren knows that her voice isn't quite big and boomy like Ella Fitzgerald or Sarah Vaughn or, you know, it's not like an opera singer, something like that, right? So she just uses what she's got. And just the way that this tune is arranged, the little details, you know, the piano will jab in every once in a while or the drummer is just sort of comfortable and sitting back with the brushes, you know, jazz people could learn to make catchy music sometimes too.
DESBERG: (Singing) An ape like me can learn to be human too, can learn to be human, truly human too, can learn to be human too.
LYDEN: Once again, that's the music of Lauren Desberg with the song "I Wanna Be Like You." Patrick Jarenwattananon comes to us from NPR Music, and you can find his writing at A Blog Supreme, which is at npr.org/blogsupreme. Patrick, it's really been a pleasure.
JARENWATTANANON: Oh, my great pleasure, Jacki. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

I happened to unlock the Brawler, which was pretty lucky given my 3/4 full rare manifest. Charge gives you a 50% damage reduction for a couple seconds. When stacked with the DR from the Batarian heavy melee and Blade Armor, he's damage immune for the duration of the punch. At least I think it's damage immune, I had two pyros on me at one point and didn't notice the shields going down. Skipped lash completely, used my Wraith V, full melee, and weapon synergy. Plays a lot like how I play the Drell Vanguard but easy instead of hard and without any of the dodging, strafing, and pull staggering.

Wayne and I are thrilled to present our fans with the first look at the brand new cover art for The Berinfell Prophecies Book Three: The Tide of Unmaking.
Because book 3 is the most epic of the series and spans locales near and far, as well as a diverse range of characters and notable moments, it was hard to pint-point exactly what should be on the cover. But once we saw the "world on fire," we knew it was the right fit.
To all of our readers who've patiently waited for this final installment, we can't thank you enough. You're the reason we write. And we hope you like this cover (and the book!) as much as we do.

Ten years ago, I enrolled in a BMW driving school – and promptly slid my teenaged self behind the wheel of a 328i to practice defensive driving and car control techniques. A great lesson, yes, but I couldn't help but envy students of a higher-level performance driving class, as they shrieked around in wicked-looking E39 M5s. The tables finally turned the other week, when BMW invited me to attend its one-day M Performance Driving School – and, to sweeten the deal even further, I'd be one of the first to slide behind the wheel of the school's batch of 2012 M5 sedans.
Both the one- and two-day M Performance Driving School programs are situated at BMW's Performance Center, adjacent to its X3/X5/X6 manufacturing plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The track neither sounds nor looks as sexy as Laguna Seca (one of several tracks that rival Mercedes-Benz AMG offers a similar school), but that doesn't mean it can't be challenging. Every inch, corner, elevation change, and slick surface is designed to challenge – and, ideally, improve – your ability to control a performance machine when driven in anger.
After a brief classroom session to discuss fundamentals like weight transfer, cornering, and racing lines, we're quickly ushered out of the building and onto the tarmac. Instructors break large groups into small chunks; no more than 4-5 cars are assigned to a single instructor. First up: cornering basics in a M3 coupe. After the requisite lead-follow demonstration laps, it's your turn to try flying solo. A radio placed in each car allows the instructor to observe right at the first corner, a hard left that sends you through a tight chicane and then spits you out onto a long straightaway. Is this approach impersonal? Hardly – in fact, being able to watch classmates tackle the same course while listening to their critique allows you to watch, learn, and improve surprisingly quickly.
Next up: a handling course, which puts us behind the wheel of the oh-so-hot (and oh-so-collectible) 1 M Coupe. The loop starts with a long slalom, followed by a right-hand sweeper that spits you into an extremely tight right-hander. Aim the car right, and you'll exit that corner atop a knoll before pitching the 1 M into a long, almost-straight stretch. You then have to apply the brakes hard, track wide, and late apex into descending-radius right-hander that spits you back into the original chicane. Sweat. Grin. Repeat.
After that, our group moved to the facility's hallmark feature: the skidpad. The polished concrete surface is big, round, and perpetually wet – and to make things more interesting, we're trying to tackle this in the big, bad, M5. Striking the right amount of throttle to slide the tail out dramatically – but not to the point of no return – is a little tricky at first, considering peak torque – some 500 lb-ft – comes on at only 1500 rpm. I'm not without fault, but after a couple of "familiarization spins," I'm catching and correcting the car. Several catches later, and your coach is goading you into goosing the car into a long, dramatic, and controlled powerslide around the 'pad.
But wait: there's another wet skid pad. For this, we jump back in the 1 Ms, and are presented with a tight oval course, and told to race one another with neither traction nor stability control activated. This challenges you to launch quickly without wheelspin, brake in time to corner without grinding into oversteer, and apply liberal amounts of throttle upon exiting but without oversteer. I managed to advance into a "final four" (of eight), but a flirtation with understeer in the second round costs me an early lead. D'oh.
After a spot of lunch, we're then led out to the "big track," a long, course that combines bits of our first cornering exercise with portions of the wet skid pad. We start off into the back straight in an M3, but have to jump on the brakes to dive into a tight chicane that dumps you onto a still-soggy skid pad. Loop halfway through, and exit up an uphill straight before tackling some esses leading into the front straight. We do several laps in the M3 before switching to the larger M5. Both are a blast to drive, but the F10 delivers mind-boggling speeds in the straights and surprising prowess in the corners. Perhaps most impressive are the brakes: these are the first M5s in the country fitted with optional carbon ceramic brakes, which won't be available until next year. Once warm, they quickly and confidently shave the 4300-lb car's velocity down to manageable levels with virtually no fade over several laps.
Are we done yet? Not quite: our instructor suggested we'd see our initial handling course again, and sure enough, we do at the end of the day. Two twists: we've ditched the 1 Ms for M3s, and we're now running this as a timed run, instead of continuous laps. If you're in the mood for a little friendly competition, you'll find you can make the most of the car by squeezing on power earlier in the slalom, carrying speed as late as you can in the back straight, flooring the throttle through the last straight, and standing on the brake to stop within the stop box. We're each given three passes, and I progressively see my 26-second pass carved down to 24.8 seconds, which is good enough to tie for third place. Practice does, in fact, seem to make perfect.
By the end of the day, you emerge from the car tired, parched, sweaty, and perhaps a bit exhausted. But you also gain some valuable seat time. You leave with a newfound appreciation of what these M-fettled cars can do when pushed to the limit. And perhaps most importantly, you leave with a grin etched across your face as permanently as my memories of those E39s. Scratch that – I'm now dreaming of F10s.
The only problem? The program doesn't come cheap. The 1-day course is lumped in with the purchase of a M5 or M6, but others – including M3 customers – will need to shell out a solid $1450. You'll also need to schedule a few weeks in advance, as demand remains considerably high. Are there other schools that teach these basics, and occasionally at lesser prices? Yes, but for Bimmerphiles seeking some personal instruction while behind the wheel of their dream M machines, the program may be worth every penny.

Bernoulli vacuum cups provide a solution for gentle handling of food and other delicate products. The grippers are made from PEEK, which is a material suitable for use with food products, and meet the stringent FDA requirements. The vacuum cups are based on the Bernoulli Principle. In this process, compressed air flows through a very fine nozzle on the underside of the vacuum cup and is greatly accelerated. The rapid air flow produces underpressure and acts like an air cushion on which the product floats almost contactless, which is ideal for handling delicate porous products. Thanks to high chemical resistance and hygienic design, they can easily withstand industrial cleaning processes. For handling larger/heavier objects, several cups can easily be combined. Two key features have been added to this new product line: greater suction force and less weight. Compared to conventional Bernoulli cups made of aluminum they are up to 75% lighter and offer two times more suction power.

Sister Rose Mary Lander, 95, teacher of the deaf
Nov. 4, 1917 – April 13, 2013
Sister Rose Mary Lander, who taught for 49 years at St. Mary's School for the Deaf, died Saturday in the Sisters of St. Joseph residence in Clarence after a long illness. She was 95.
Born Luella Lander in Dunkirk, she entered the Sisters of St. Joseph in 1935 and pronounced her final vows in 1941.
She received a certificate of education from the University of Buffalo in 1943, a bachelor's degree in education from Mount St. Joseph Teachers College in 1944 and a master's degree in special education for the deaf from Canisius College in 1972.
In addition to teaching primary and elementary students at St. Mary's, she provided numerous after-school activities for children, many of whom became involved in crafts and gardening because of her encouragement and help.
Sister Rose Mary enjoyed camping and began a Girl Scout troop at St. Mary's. She served on the board of directors of the Girl Scouts for six years.
And for 25 years, she camped during the summers with deaf boys and girls at Camp St. Joseph at Java Lake.
Sister Rose Mary retired in 1988 to the sisters residence, where she maintained a green house, helped with gardening and made crafts for the gift shop.
A Mass of Christian Burial was offered Tuesday in the sisters residence.

1. ElixirTotally pumped song but putting it together was very painstaking and weird! Two drummers, two continents, several versions, tempos and studios. It was the most unnatural process. It was one of those things when you think you are done and then suddenly you get an idea that is a royal pain in the ass for everyone including yourself, but you know the song will improve because of it, so you do it. This `new idea` thing happened about 5 times on "Elixir", and by the time it was done, I knew it was perfect. It became the first music video ever made for a song from one of my solo albums.
2. Street Demon (Santa Rosa Wrecking Crew Mix)A different mix of this song was used on a special Drift Racing Music compilation that came out in Japan. This song is pumped! This was the first tune written for Loudspeaker, and kind of set the tone for the rest of the album. BTW the Santa Rosa Wrecking Crew is the one and only Dino Alden, who did all the dirty work with me on my first record, "Dragon`s Kiss".?
3. Black OrchidI always like to have a punk power element to my music. I started playing because I loved Punk Rock, which at the time not only meant the Ramones and Sex Pistols, but also Kiss, Starz and the Runaways. Because of that, it is my basic instinct to sling my guitar low, play downstrokes (guitar talk
) whenever humanly possible and beat the hell out of my instrument. For the record, I really dislike `difficult sounding guitar music`. It takes a very tricky blend of aggression, melody, power and playing to keep my interest. Doing that is in fact way more difficult than making the `difficult` sounding guitar licks. That is probably why it takes so long between each of my solo albums. "Black Orchid" is unusual in the sense that it has the full on punk aggression (Ramones rip-off?!) plus some of the trickiest and definitely non-punk guitar playing I`ve ever recorded. To top it all off, my friend John Petrucci laid down a wicked ass solo!
4. Paradise ExpressThis tune is a little departure for me isn`t it? At least that`s what I thought as I was writing it. I was never sure I liked it at first but something kept me going on it. It sounds like something someone else (who, I don`t know) would do and maybe that`s why I liked it. I`m always trying to do stuff that doesn`t come by auto-pilot. I think I was trying to do something aggressive but with a beat that is normally not used in heavy rock or metal music. There is truly a lot of guitar on this song. When I played with the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra on TV recently, they chose this song to do even though I wanted to do the more symphonic "Devil Take Tomorrow". Go figure!
5. Sekai Ni Hitotsudake No Hana This tune rips! I planned from day one that this would be track one on the album. The record company didn`t want to put a cover song (by Japanese boy-band SMAP) as the first cut on the album, and they loved "Elixir" so that`s the way it went. Sometimes you just gotta pick your battles. This tune just feels so good, like a shot of adrenalin. This song is extremely well known in Japan and it is the kind of song that even when you hear it the very first time, you know where it`s going and you can sing along. I like songs like that. I don`t have time to play a song over and over, and I don`t like the kind of music that `grows` on you. Give it to me now! Anyway, I made this SMAP tune tons heavier (although the original is not heavy at all, straight up pop), threw in a lot of key changes and bells and whistles that may offend fans of the original version, but it just goes to show that a good song can be done a completely different way and still be enjoyed. Dare I say Cacophony meets Andrew W.K. meets the biggest boy band in Japan??!!
6. Glycerine FleshThis song even sounds less like me than Paradise Express, vibe-wise. Of course the guitar playing completely gives it away, as I always wind up playing my own way, no matter what the backing music is. I was going after the vibe of "Questioningly" by the Ramones, a strummy almost `country played by punks` vibe, which I just love, especially since I`m far from being a country music fan at all. In the guitar melody department I had a blast taking it all around the world musically, from China to Persia to Eastern Europe to the USA. There is a lot of intricate guitar on this song, I would hate to have to learn it if I were anyone other than myself. Not meaning that I`m "all that" or anything, but no one understands the way any player plays as well as the player himself.
7. Stigmata/AddictionThis song shows the way I like a 7-string guitar to sound. The song was written entirely in the studio. Jeremy Colson and I recorded a long ad libbed jam session and then went into the control room to pick out any juicy bits. We found a few and copied and pasted many, many times until we got something that resembled a song. Then I had Jeremy learn and re-play our newly created monster straight through so it would have a feeling of continuity. Even then it was almost 10 minutes long. I lived with that version for a while then hacked it down again a few more times until it felt real good. The long solo at the end was done completely in one take, I have the video to prove it!
8. ViperI hate to let the truth out, but this was always the last priority song on the album! Originally written for the "Heavy Metal Thunder" soundtrack in Japan, it was too discordant to get any kind of simple vocal melody on it so it was scrapped for that project and I wrote "Love Terrorist" with Aikawa Nanase which eventually made it to that album. Viper kicked around in various demo forms, adding little bits now and then, but never really kicking my ass. It got a huge shot in the arm when Steve Vai added some wicked solos! When I heard them I knew I had to come to the table with the goods myself. I had to really get serious and kick the tune up a few notches. So I added an intro (MANLY guitar tone, people!), edited in a few neat little breaks and did some guitar `battling` with Steve. I`m really glad I didn`t give up on this one, it`s one of my faves on the album.
9. Coloreas Mi VidaRecorded on 3 continents, bass in Cyprus, vocal, piano and ambient sounds in LA and all the rest in Tokyo, it`s only fitting that the title be in Spanish. Ramin and Geri from Supreme Beings of Leisure added so much delicious stuff to this. I played on their latest album as a trade for their work on this song. I just can`t make an album without one semi-romantic song on it, as hard as I try.
10. Devil Take TomorrowThis title comes from a Louis Armstrong tune, it`s such a cool thought. Tonight is really all that matters, let the devil take tomorrow. I almost didn`t record this song. It was about 3AM, at the end of the last LONG drum day in LA with Jeremy Colson, and I was about to call it a night. I had this tune worked out in my mind as far as the chord changes and the basic melody, but it was one of those things where you are so incredibly exhausted that you are thinking, "well, if it`s that good I`ll remember it for the next album. I just wanna get outta here". My eyes were bloodshot, it was freezing in the studio (in LA!) and the thought of a nice warm hotel room was SO appealing but I thought, let`s just do the tune! We did one take with the drums and my guitar live and that wound up being the only take. That live guitar track is actually the track you hear playing the chords at the beginning and ending of the song. Normally I would have re-cut that with a more suitable sound, but after listening to it I decided that I probably could not have played the part any more to my liking than the way it was played, so kept it exactly the way it is. I really like the way the last chord rings, for me it was the perfect way to wrap up the album.
11. Static RainThis is the ending theme of the weekly TV show I do, "Rock Fujiyama". I wrote it in less than a day, and recorded it in 2 days, along with my friend Kirito who supplied the vocals and lyrics. Sometimes good things just come naturally and this was certainly the case here. I probably would have preferred a real bassist to do the track instead of doing it myself, but time constraints made that impossible. I played bass on a few tracks on this album. I have never been a fan of my own bass playing. I am happy about the fact that no one has complained about it on this song!
(Static Rain instrumental version-Europe/US)
Rather than just copying the vocal melodies on guitar, I decided to add some trippy countermelodies, abstract non-vocal style guitar harmonies and a really fast guitar breakdown with clean tone towards the end of the song. This song is such a vocal song, that I feel very lucky that it worked out so well as an instrumental too.

Columbia's Overtime Winner Sends Falcons Past Rebels 5-4
SOUTH BURLINGTON–Dylan Columbia's goal twenty-four seconds into the second overtime propelled the North Country Falcons past South Burlington 5-4 in the Metro Division quarter-finals on Saturday."Oh my God, you can't describe it," said Columbia about the goal, "I was overwhelmed with joy... it was the greatest feeling in the world."Setting up Columbia was Logan Fortier, who was in on all the scoring Saturday, and he had the same reaction. "I can't describe this," said Fortier moments after the game, "I've dreamed of this since I was four years old.""These guys have been working really hard, and we are playing like we know we can beat anybody and it is a fantastic feeling to be back in the final four," said coach Andrew Roy.Columbia's goal was the last event in a long series of occurrences that made for a very special afternoon at the Douglas A. Cairns Arena, and we will start at the beginning.It was a sluggish start for the Falcons against the quick moving Rebels, and the hometown team wasted little time getting on the board.Eric Craig slid into the slot, where South Burlington prefers to do most of its' damage, and one-timed the puck past Chris Bronson just 1:12 into the game.The Rebels utilized their strong breakout and crisp passing to stay out of their own zone and spend the bulk of the first in the North Country end where they put twenty shots on Bronson."We came out with some bus legs, but Chris Bronson was amazing, He was the difference for us tonight," said Roy.North Country would eventually put four shots on South Burlington's Nate Young, but it was 1-0 Rebels at the end of one.In the second, SBUHS continued to buzz around the North Country end. Five and half minutes into the period their hard work paid off, as a lucky bounce off of a Falcon leg directed the puck into the back of the net, and it was 2-0 Rebels.Chris Weinheimer would be credited with the goal.The Falcons finally cracked the score sheet in the period's eleventh minute. While on the power-play, they were able to get the puck up high to Ebin Fournier, who in turn sent it over to Fortier who fired the puck through a maze of players into the far left corner of the net.The goal gave the Falcons life, but it also gave So. Burlington energy, and two minutes later, set up by Weinheimer and Bernie Thibeault, Charles Hall one-timed another shot past Bronson, restoring the two goal advantage, and sending the Rebels into the second intermission up 3-1.Starting the third it was clear, North Country needed goals and they needed them fast.No Problem.Fortier cruised into the South Burlington end and sniped home another low shot to make it 3-2.Said Fortier on his play in regulation, "I was shooting the puck, getting it on net, crashing, and I got a little bit of luck, but that happens."With the Falcons fans strongly behind them, North Country continued to play well, but the Rebels did not win seventeen games this year on just their looks.They are a very talented team with a crew of skilled underclassman, and it was one of those young guys who would put the stomachs of the NCU crowd into a knot.Sophomore Sam Finklestein came blazing into the Falcon end, went wide left and put what John Buccigross would call a "twisted wrister" into the back of the cage.South Burlington was now firmly in the drivers seat.They were winning 4-2 with less than ten minutes to go, in their own barn, they, up to this point, had put nearly fifty shots on net, and had the bulk of the crowd firmly behind them.They should have won. They were supposed to win. How on Earth could they possibly lose to a team from Orleans County?Ask Ross DeLaBruere.You see North Country too has a group of very good, very big youngsters.Ross, along with Ryan Paul are two of these players, and they, along with Fortier, teamed up to get the comeback going.Winning face-offs is tantamount to being a successful team, and goal number three started with a face-off win by Paul.He got the puck back to Fortier, and Logan wasted no time putting it on net where DeLaBruere muscled his way in and lifted the puck over Young, making it 4-3 with 9:33 left on the clock.Three minutes later he stuck again, this time taking Logan Judd's rebound and burying it to tie the game at four. Fortier got the other assist on the goal, giving him four points so far."I just wanted to work hard and help my team out, and things just seemed to go my way," DeLaBruere said of his third period performance.If the high slot belonged to the Rebels, then the low slot was Falcon Country.Said Roy, "We had asked the D to get something to the net, and Ross was in the right place at the right time."Now it was Bronson time.He channeled his inner Tim Thomas, jumping, diving, sprawling, what ever it took to keep the puck out of the net, allowing nothing to get past him.His best moment came with 4:13 left to play, when he somehow managed to keep the puck out of the net while a flurry of players swarmed the front, trying to jam it home.Going the other way, Nate Marsh had a chance to put North Country ahead on a breakaway with two minutes left, but he was unable to beat Young, and the teams went into the extra session deadlocked at four.Eight minutes were put on the clock, and it was winner take all.Both teams had chances in the first OT, most notably a breakaway for Finklestein and a Paul attempt, but both goalies stood strong and we were headed to overtime number two.By now the crowd had expanded, as fans who were waiting to see the South Burlington girls take on the Hartford Hurricanes filled the arena.In a show of anti-Chittenden Country camaraderie, the Hartford girls cheered on the boys as they made their way onto the ice for the start of the second overtime period.Twenty-four seconds later it was over.Fortier swooped down the left side of the ice, cut hard to the net and slid the puck along the crease over to Columbia, who knew exactly what Logan was going to do, and where to be, and he lifted the puck over Young's pads, shocking the crowd and sending the Falcon team over the boards and onto the ice where they mobbed Columbia in front of a group of painted Rebel fans.North Country played yet another clean game on Saturday, proving the importance of controlled play at this time of year."We can't afford to have any of a players in the box, not just to be down a man, but we need to have those personnel fighting for us, and that was key tonight," Roy said about his team's smarter brand of hockey.Strangely enough, Chris Bronson was the most penalized Falcon, getting tagged twice in the contest, but I think that his fifty-four save performance earned him a pass.Now the boys move on to face number three BFA, who defeated Rice 6-0 Saturday, this Wednesday in St. Albans at the Collins-Perly Sports Complex at 5:30.

The project had been scheduled to temporarily shut down beginning in November, according to Grand County UMTRA Liaison Lee Shenton. But on Oct. 21, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) informed the 136 employees currently working at the site that the agency received an internal allocation to fund the project through Jan. 15, Shenton said.
"I talked to a couple of the employees, and they're breathing a sigh of relief that they're going to have most of their work through December," he told the Moab Tailings Project Steering Committee on Oct. 22.
Under the funding deal, the DOE plans to schedule eight work curtailment days between late October and January.
No firm dates have been mentioned at this point, Shenton said, but the DOE will likely schedule the breaks around the upcoming holidays.
"Then they're all up in the air again after Jan. 15 rolls around," he said.
The Jan. 15 date is not an arbitrary one.
Congress reached a deal on Oct. 16 to end the federal government shutdown. But the stopgap measure it approved will only fund the government through mid-January.
"We are thankful the short-term funding measure enacted by Congress provides funding to continue moving tailings at least through mid-January," Federal Project Director Donald Metzler told The Times-Independent.
Overall work at the UMTRA Project could wrap up by 2025. However, the pace of progress will depend on funding commitments from the federal government.
The first rail shipments from the project site to a disposal cell near Crescent Junction began in 2009, thanks to a boost of federal stimulus money.
As of August 2013, crews had removed 6.2 million tons of mill tailings. That accounts for a 39 percent drop from the 16 million tons entombed at the site when the Atlas uranium processing mill closed in 1984.
Portage, Inc., is the lead contractor on the project. The DOE awarded a $121 million contract to the Idaho Falls, Idaho-based company in late-2011.

LEGO: why I think they're The Masters of Marketing
With the Masters of Marketing awards rapidly approaching us, rumour has it members of the public are able to nominate their favourite brands for the 'Brand of the Year' category.
The dirty secrets of clickbait. This post will blow your mind!
Over the past year or two, sites like Buzzfeed and Upworthy have introduced a new type of content marketing to the masses.
Lovingly referred to as clickbait, it has so thoroughly revolutionised the way content is shared that there are rumours Facebook has tried to ban it.
So why do people have such a love/hate relationship with these entertaining articles? And what can marketeers learn from clickbait marketing?
The 10 most common mistakes of blogger outreach
The practise of blogger or influencer "engagement" is one of the most widely-used tactics in marketing these days, done by almost everyone, from PR agencies to SEOs, social marketers to spammers.
It's also one of the most commonly derided amongst the recipients and much-debated amongst bloggers and professionals - but rarely addressed by marketers themselves.
If you're doing it well, why share the secrets with your competitors? Sadly, a lot of marketers are doing it very badly indeed, and something needs to be done about it...
Don't believe the hype: Google+ does not mean great SEO
Yesterday, I had a rather heated debate with a fellow online marketer, on one of the most popular topics within SEO at the moment: Namely, the impact of Google+ (and its +1s) on search rankings - or lack of, to be more precise.
Let me start this post with a couple of caveats. First up, whilst I'm very much on record as not being a fan of Google+ (I *may* have called it 'The King's New Clothes of Social Networking' a few times) my opinion about the topic in question is entirely unrelated to this.
I may not be a fan, but I certainly recognise the impressive offering Google have developed in the fight against Facebook. I have a Google Plus profile, I encourage our clients to use it too and I pop on there at least once a week to see what's what.
Why does Candy Crush Saga need TV ads?
In the heady and fast-paced world of online marketing, we're often told that achieving social media awareness is the 'promised land' - we dream of things 'going viral', watching enviously as the likes of Gangnam Style rocket up the YouTube charts and wondering why the stuff we create for our clients don't achieve the same level of awareness.
Achieving that nirvana of mass social awareness can completely revolutionise your fortunes. Fine, you might have optimised your PPC to within an inch of its life, you've got top SEO positions and your affiliate campaign is an award winner.
You might even have a few glossy-looking awards for your expensive TV campaigns on the office mantle piece. But underneath it all, you know that the level of awareness of your product can make or break you.
Cheggers gets wrists slapped by ASA for promo tweets
In the latest high-profile case of Twitter celebrities getting their wrists slapped by the ASA, Keith Chegwin has been sent to the virtual naughty step for not disclosing a promoted tweet he posted some time ago.
The tweet in question, posted at an unspecified time last year (and now deleted), suggested to Chegwin's followers that they might like to visit a certain gambling website which he was the face of.
I won't mention their names here, as I'm sure they're getting plenty of SEO value from the coverage they're already getting.
Either way though, by posting his tweet without using an ASA-approved hashtag such as #ad or #spon, Cheggers broke one of the ASA's golden rules.
10 sure fire ways brands can annoy fans and followers
When you work with brands using channels like Facebook and Twitter on a daily basis, you become very familiar with some of the pitfalls companies can fall into - and what results they seem to generate.
I've never been one of those people who likes to kick-up a stink when a brand makes a mistake but I like to keep a close eye on what trends seem to annoy customers most, if only to learn from them for the future.
As well as my own experience, I decided to do a bit of amateur research this week. I asked people to reveal what they find most annoying about brand behaviour on social media platforms, with a particular focus on Facebook and Twitter. Below is the culmination of that research.
Changing Twitter usernames painlessly: four top tips
As somebody who regularly has to deal with a multitude of Twitter accounts, both personal and client-based, I often come across confusion when it comes to the thorny issue of naming your @account.
Aside from the obvious branding issues, one of the biggest stumbling blocks can be the issue of trademark, copyrights and the often-complicated problem of who has a "right" to use any particular name.
Does your Facebook campaign break the rules?
In the world of social media marketing there are some great examples of really innovative campaigns - and plenty of lazy copy-cats too. But in our clamour to measure, incentivise and prove that all-important ROI metric, are marketers putting their clients brands at risk by breaking Facebook (or other sites) terms and conditions?
Charity begins on Twitter: tips for charities and supporters
Twitter has become the marketing tool of choice for the discerning charity these days - just think of a well known charity and I can almost guarantee you they'll be on Twitter. This trend has lead to some great case studies in how to use Twitter effectively, as well as a few well publicised clangers too.
What can charities who are just starting out on the long road to Tweetadise learn from these case studies? How can charity supporters do their bit to help out? Hopefully, this blog might give you a few pointers...
The rocky road ahead for Facebook Places
As a big fan of location-based applications (I'm currently 'checking in' at various locations on five different apps...!) I have of course been watching the launch and subsequent spread of Facebook Places with great interest.
Now that the first batch of dust has had a chance to settle, I wanted to look in a bit more detail at some of the hurdles 'Places' may face in the coming months, if past experience is to be believed.
Online privacy has never been guaranteed: why so surprised?
I've been following the debate recently caused by Facebook's latest change to their privacy policy, which seems to have got everyone talking about just how much privacy people should expect when they're 'living' in a social world.
Whilst I agree that people need to be clear on exactly which bits of their information is being shared and which is private, I don't think this is worth the furore that it's currently causing. Here's why...
